RAM Upgrade Questions (1 Viewer)

[Brian_Wh]

I'll be adding 512MB of RAM to our eMac tonight (which came with 256MB). I'm hoping for some decent gains in overall speed and multi-tasking. My questions are these:

1.) We're still on dial-up. Will I see any (even if only small) improvement in page loading or download speeds after adding the RAM? I realize of course, that making the switch to high speed service will make the biggest difference.

2.) Will upping the RAM increase the speed of importing CD's into my iTunes library or of burning CD's?

Thanks...

i doubt you will see a jump in performance in either of those categories by adding more ram.

I'll second what Christ said.

I don't think that it will help with the dial-up speeds. As for burning CD's it will help with Buffer Underunns. Importing music into iTunes depends on how it uses the memory.

it may help, but remember he has 256 mb now, plenty of ram to not have to worry about buffer underruns because of ram.

Thanks for the replies guys! That's what I figured, but thought I'd ask. Installed the RAM last night -very easy to do - now I have 768MB of RAM!
